Cheap flights from Krakow to Frankfurt

February is the cheapest month in the price calendar, and it is easy to see why: the weeks after New Year are quiet at both ends of the route. Fares climb again in spring, when weekend city breaks fill the planes, and stay high through the summer. Autumn is calmer, then December brings Christmas market crowds to Krakow and Frankfurt alike. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday, and early morning connections usually beat the afternoon banks. Book winter trips a few weeks ahead, and leave more room for the Christmas period.

Nobody flies Krakow to Frankfurt non-stop, so every ticket is a connection through another hub. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa and Swiss are the full-service names you will meet most often, while KLM and Scandinavian Airlines connect through their own bases. Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Easyjet, Pegasus and Eurowings sell seat-only fares, where a small cabin bag is the starting point and everything else is added at checkout. With a single ticket the airline is generally responsible for getting you onwards if the first leg runs late; with two separate low-cost tickets that risk sits with you. Compare the fare with your bag and seat included before you choose.

Frankfurt has two airports and they are not interchangeable. Frankfurt International sits close to the city, with its own station, so a train ride or an S-Bahn gets you into the centre quickly, and taxis are an easy fallback. Hahn Airport lies well outside the city, and the usual way in is a coach that takes a good while. Check which airport your ticket names before you book anything onward, because a cheap fare into Hahn can turn into a long day. If your connection lands late, look at the last train and coach times before you commit.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your ticket lands at Frankfurt International or at Hahn, since the two airports are far apart.
• Krakow has one airport, Balice, so confirm the terminal and leave time for the drive from the centre.
• If your legs are on separate tickets, the onward airline will not wait when the first flight is late.
• Add the cost of a checked bag and a seat to any seat-only fare before you compare.
• February is the cheapest month, so book early for that window and watch winter weather at your hub.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Germany and check the entry rules before you fly.
